grissom Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Hi folks, hope I posted this in the right forum, apologies if not. I installed XAMPP "out of the box" onto my PC running Vista. However, when I try and run a PHP file, the file does not run, instead I get the message "Do you want to Open Or Save this File". The PHP file is just a little test file in htdocs. I've tried reinstalling and I've also signed out of Skype (which apparently can cause a conflict) Any ideas ? many thanks.
